The last sensational story of the fnan-

comes from California.
II is reported from San Francisco that
the leader Of the surveying ring, John a.
Benson, has fled from the city and joined

United States District Attorney for Cali
fornia, it appears, should be held respon-
sible for the escape Of this man, who for
wears has been at the head of q group
OF conspirators engaged in defrauding
the Government. Last April the Fed
eral grand jury Indicted a number Of the
conspirators including Benson, but the
documents were badly drawn perhaps
Intentionally, and the indictments were
quashed. Mr.. Benson seeks his dolce
far nieRte in Canada, and adds one
more to the long array Of shining ex-
smples that light the way to successful
thieying on big scale
The roll of Government surveyors is
headed by b man who for long period
had the control Of Government lands In
the West so thoroughly in his possession
that he made more money than anybody
has ever been able to count lie and his
family are pets of fashion in Washing

feature of American society, which is
that stolen money can secure "recogni-

THE STATE DEMOCRACY.

Newspapers and politicians know less
about the situation in Virginia this fall
than ever before. We are within three
weeks OF the election, but no count of the
vote has been made, a. far as we know
upon any plausible data. The difference
in numbers between the parties is so
small that in the absence of any exciting
issue the truth must be told and admitted
that the party that has the best organiza'
ton, the most money, and does the most
thorough work will win the election.
The idea of rallying the Democratic
party in Virginia on the debt question
when both parties agree on ii is an
empty hope Malone inclines to debt
settlement. but not so decidedly as 10
arouse his opponents upon any defined
issue When the Democrats captured
the Riddleberger bill they surrendered
that question, and when they hint at
absolute reputation the advanced posi-
ton is what they always charged Ma
one with, and thereby the parties are
too nearly approached TO each other to
make any sensational speculation on the
stump out Of the debt question.
As to the attempt to raise a cry
against the Federal authority because
there is an issue between the State and
the Federal Courts upon laws that the
Legislature knew to be unconstitutional
when they were passed, we do hope
that no such mistake will be made. An
excited crowd might take hold Of 1t, but
reason warns against It, and the cOnse- |
quences would be, first, to show that the |
party mad been as badly managed as the
business affairs of the State; and |
second, TO involve the Democracy in the |
presidential year in certain sort of
responsibility for what the Democrats |
loved to call "factious opposition" to
the Government
As TO the tariff issue that comes before
he people, il is doubtful If sound Demo
cratic principles enunciated in this can
yass would act to the advantage of the
party. There are too many Democrats
who believe in protection, if they have
o obtain it through Republican ideas or
he abrogation of the internal revenue
ystem There are numbers Of Demo
rats who hold that we want our ores
protected against foreign ores, and as it
hould be a rule to push the strong
,Oint and hold back the weak ones,
ye should say that in this canvass, as it
tands now the strong point is to
Orce the necessity OF Democratic
'ictory to save us from what Malone
Promised us in 1888 But we have ex-
,lained the causes Of apathy to illustrate
he fact that appears SO strongly nov,
H.: THAT when two parties have
10 great issue between them that the
,eople can understand as vital, the one
hat has the most money and does the
most work will win

We referred yesterday to Secretary
Bayards correction of the report that
Secretary Garland and himself had dis
agreed on the point made in the release
of the sealing vessels seized by our au-
thorities in Behring Sea The vessels
had been released because the seizure
had been unlawfully made, and it now
transpires that there was little intrigue
on the part Of that powerful concern
called the Alaska Fur Company of which
Statesman John Sherman is the head.
That company pays 100000 a year to
the Government for the privilege Of
taking 100000 seals 1t is supposed that
they take several millions.

Through the influence of John Sher-
man and other statesmen the Alaska
Commercial Company has secured in the
past many favOrs of high value from the
